Q 1 - Prefix notation is alsow known as
Answer : D
Explanation
Polish Notation
Q 2 - What data structure is used for breadth first traversal of a graph?
Answer : A
Explanation
Queue is used for breadth first traversal whereas stack is used for depth first traversal.
Q 3 - Minimum number of moves required to solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle is
Answer : C
Explanation
Minimum number of moves required to solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle is 2n - 1. Where n is the number of disks. If the number of disks is 3, then minimum number of moves required are 23 - 1 = 7
Q 4 - Which of the following searching techniques do not require the data to be in sorted form
Answer : A
Explanation
Both binary and interpolation search requires data set to be in sorted form. Linear search can work even if the data is not sorted.
Q 5 - Which method can find if two vertices x & y have path between them?
Answer : C
Explanation
By using both BFS and DFS, a path between two vertices of a connected graph can be determined.
Q 6 - In context with time-complexity, find the odd out −
A - Deletion from Linked List.
Answer : D
Explanation
Binary heap heapify operation has time-complexity of Ο(n), while other operations have time-complexity of Ο(1) only.
Answer : B
Explanation
Linked lists has search complexity of Ο(n).
Q 8 - In the deletion operation of max heap, the root is replaced by
A - next available value in the left sub-tree.
B - next available value in the right sub-tree.
Answer : D
Explanation
Regardless of being min heap or max heap, root is always replaced by last element of the last level.
Q 9 - Access time of a binary search tree may go worse in terms of time complexity upto
Answer : C
Explanation
At maximum, BST may need to search all n values in the tree in order to access an element, hence, Ο(n).
Q 10 - Which of the following algorithm does not divide the list −
Answer : A
Explanation
Linear search, seaches the desired element in the target list in a sequential manner, without breaking it in any way.
